IGMP snooping show commands<br />
Enabling fast leave for IGMP V2<br />
When a device receives an IGMP V2 leave message, it sends out multiple group-specific queries. If<br />
no other client replies within the waiting period, the device stops forwarding traffic. When<br />
fast-leave-v2 is configured, and when the device receives a leave message, it immediately stops<br />
forwarding to that port. The device does not send group specific-queries. When fast-leave-v2 is<br />
configured on a VLAN, you must not have multiple clients on any port that is part of the VLAN. In a<br />
scenario where two devices connect, the querier device should not be configured for fast-leave-v2<br />
because the port might have multiple clients through the non-querier. The number of queries, and<br />
the waiting period (in seconds) can be configured using the ip multicast leave-wait-time command.<br />
The default is 2 seconds.<br />
To configure fast leave for IGMP V2, enter the following commands.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)#vlan 20<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-vlan-20)#multicast fast-leave-v2<br />
Syntax: [no] multicast fast-leave-v2<br />
Enabling fast convergence<br />
In addition to sending periodic general queries, an active device sends general queries when it<br />
detects a new port. However, because the device does not recognize the other device's port up<br />
event, multicast traffic might still require up to the query-interval time to resume after a topology<br />
change. Fast convergence allows the device to listen to topology change events in Layer 2 protocols<br />
such as spanning tree, and then send general queries to shorten the convergence time.<br />
If the Layer 2 protocol cannot detect a topology change, fast convergence may not work in some<br />
cases. For example, if the direct connection between two devices switches from one interface to<br />
another, the rapid spanning tree protocol (802.1w) considers this optimization, rather than a<br />
topology change. In this example, other devices will not receive topology change notifications, and<br />
will be unable to send queries to speed up the convergence. Fast convergence works well with the<br />
regular spanning tree protocol in this case.<br />
To enable fast-convergency, enter the following commands.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)#vlan 70<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-vlan-70)#multicast fast-convergence<br />
Syntax: multicast fast-convergence<br />
